A report sighted by YEN.com.gh on the official Facebook handle of U.S. Embassy Ghana indicates that the tour took place on August 2, 1962, when Mary Alice, Mary Louise, Mary Catherine, and Mary Anne were brought into the White House.
It is indicated that the Fultz Quadruplets were just on the tour of the White House when the then President John F. Kennedy emerged in the White House Rose Garden.
